Great. Now people can finally see that it's not the price holding the X1 back.

You know, I was thinking the same thing.  Without a doubt the cost of these recent Xbox One deals will spur Xbox One sales, but for how long and will it outsell the competition.  And does it really matter to outsell the competition?  Microsoft just claimed that they are in this to win, and there in nothing wrong with that in and of itself.  My question is what it is they are trying to do to win is the real issue?  I don't care how cheap something is as long as it's something that doesn't offer what I want, I do not want it.  Any product I own and want doesn't have to be the number one selling item in its market.  It just has to be the one that caters to me.  For the consumer, it's better to create and market a profitable product for the consumer instead of being "in it for the win."  So let's see how well the Xbox One will sell from this point on with these bundles and pricedrops.

In it to win it. Hmmm maybe just to stay profitable. I remember i bought the Dreamcast(R.I.P.) it most definitely catered to me but that was not nearly enough. They were in it to win maybe for that number 1 sold spot but were losing money and not achieving either. They failed miserably i had to abandon ship on a great console. I agree with your post overall. In this case it would have been great to be number 1 in the market.
